Faculty and staff in the education industry in all nations provide basic research, application research in energy technologies.  The “cities-within-cities” we call the #SmartCampus” also provide crucibles for new testing new technologies as well as provide energy load for utilities operating under all ownership regimes.

Building “Backup” Electric Power Systems

You are welcomed to join our review of backup power systems (customer-level).  Although the term “backup” is not used in the codes and standards that govern electrical power safety and reliability, “backup” is a term of art widely used in design and field practice.   Use the login credentials at the upper right of our home page.

Language

“He who does not speak foreign languages
knows nothing about his own.“

— Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

We observe National Poetry Month in the United States and Canada every year with an inquiry into changes in the (meaning of) definitions at the foundation of best practice literature; frequently the subject of sporty debate among experts writing codes and standards for the built environment of education communities.

In the United Kingdom, National Poetry Month is celebrated in October, and it is known as “National Poetry Day” which has been observed since 1994. It is an initiative of the Forward Arts Foundation, which aims to encourage people to read, write and perform poetry.

Other countries also have their own poetry celebrations, such as World Poetry Day, which is observed annually on March 21 by UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) to promote the reading, writing, and teaching of poetry worldwide.

In past years we used a Tamil mnemonic because Tamil is the oldest surviving language and remains the spoken language of 80-odd million people of South Asia.  Alas, use of Tamil confounds our WordPress content management system so in 2024 we began coding this topic in American English

Fine Arts 300

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There are written fine arts standards that have been developed by various organizations and educational bodies. These standards provide a framework for what students should know and be able to do in the arts at different grade levels. Here are a few examples of fine arts standards:

National Core Arts Standards: The National Core Arts Standards were developed by the National Coalition for Core Arts Standards and outline what students should know and be able to do in dance, media arts, music, theater, and visual arts at different grade levels.

State Fine Arts Standards: Many states have their own fine arts standards that are aligned with the National Core Arts Standards but may be tailored to reflect the unique needs and priorities of the state; e.g., State of Ohio Fine Art Standards

International Baccalaureate Arts Standards: The International Baccalaureate (IB) program offers arts standards as part of their curriculum framework for the arts. These standards are designed to develop students’ creative and critical thinking skills in the arts.

Arts Education Partnership National Standards for Arts Education: The Arts Education Partnership has developed national standards for arts education that cover the four major artistic disciplines: dance, music, theater, and visual arts.

Today at 15:00 UTC we drill into the technical specifics that contribute to the safety and sustainability of spaces used for the teaching, practice and

display of the fine arts.  These occupancies are typically at greater risk than classrooms because they usually contain volatile fluids for artistic painting

or biologic specimen preservation, kilns for pottery, fabrics and related machinery for teaching fashion design and practice.

Monthly review of all consensus, consortia and open source codes, standards and regulations the set the standard of care for fire safety in education communities.   We group them with fire protection standards because most of the compliance and enforcement expertise originates with fire safety expertise.  Send bella@standardsmichigan.com an email for an advance agenda.

We follow the construction spend rate of the US education industry; using the US Census Bureau Construction Spending figures released the first day of every month.

We encourage our colleagues in the education facilities industry to respond to Census Bureau-retained data gathering contractors in order to contribute to the accuracy of the report.
